Maintaining second place in the standings after being able to become champions in the Bundesliga last season is definitely a good effort for Leverkusen because in terms of becoming champions in a row it is always not easy for any team because it always requires maximum effort. I also see Leverkusen trying very hard this season even though it is not certain to become champions because there are still points gaps to be made, but for this season I also salute Munich's efforts with their new coach.
It's sometimes even more difficult to win in a row than winning for the first time and that's a typical case with Leverkusen, if they are able to get it done for the second time then they may most likely not have challenges getting it subsequently, the first time has always been the toughest and for Munich and their new coach, it's been a journey worth the while and they have done way more impressively than it would have been expected of them under the management of their new coach. I wish Bayern Munich winning this title and regaining their dominance again but this competition currently is making the league even interesting actually.
